“system-config-network-tui &” doesn't work












1















When I try to edit or assign the IP using this command:



system-config-network-tui &


Terminal opens a console which is uncontrollable, just like this:



Redhat



This happens on CentOS and Red Hat.

    Of course it doesn't work ... It's a ncurses based program that uses a loop to refresh current screen, you run it in background, you end up with a mess ..



    If you just need to setup some IPs, why won't you just do it with ifconfig or nmcli (for network manager) ?

      command for this.

      • On RHEL , the NetworkManager-tui package is required to get nmtui.
